Judge: Proof evident that black footballer raped woman in Arizona PHOENIX — A Phoenix judge ruled Thursday that former NFL star Darren Sharper is not entitled to bail in Arizona, finding "proof evident and presumption great" that he raped a woman in Tempe on Nov. 21. In making his ruling, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Warren Granville cited DNA evidence from inside the woman's vagina that partially matched Sharper's. Sharper did not previously know the woman, identified in court as "Victim B," according to testimony from Tempe police Det. Kevin Mace. Another woman in the apartment that night, identified as "Victim C," said she witnessed Sharper naked and making thrusting movements over Victim B, who has no recollection of what happened in the hours after consuming a drink Sharper made her that night, Mace said. The judge said Sharper should be entitled to $1,000 bond on the other four charges he faces in Arizona, including the drugging and rape of another woman, identified as "Victim A," and the drugging of Victim C. But Granville's ruling regarding Victim B is likely to be enough to keep Sharper incarcerated indefinitely in Los Angeles, where he is charged with two more rapes.

"It was the creepiest thing I've ever seen," she said. "The worst part is feeling like you can't protect your child. You can't bring him home to a place that is safe." A flashlight scanning the room startled her awake early one morning last September. As she nudged her fiancée to get up, Barton watched the intruder go through her dresser. He finally got spooked and sneaked out of the room when Barton’s fiancée, Jeremy Bay, asked "What?" to her insistent nudging. Police quickly caught the intruder, Brandon Jordan, 19. He’s a neighbor who was already on probation for theft when he was caught with cash, computers and a TV from Barton's home. "The chance of him getting to live right behind us again? That's unreal," Barton said. It’s unsettling, too. But the couple is setting aside fear and returning to court to demand that Brandon Jordan face justice.- (Black-on-white)
